Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have a question or perhaps it is a comment on the TMX group. It is a stock that in my opinion flies under the radar, it is not often mentioned in the media that I read or watch yet it has outperformed good companies such as CNR in the past 5 and 10 year periods. I would like to add to my position and would appreciate your thoughts and comments. Thank You.

Q: 3 Part Question. I need to sell ENB to offset a capital gain in my cash account. Would you sell ENB now or wait until closer to the deadline? I plan to buy it back after the 30 day period. Would you keep the proceeds in cash for the 30 days or replace it with something else for sector exposure? If replace, what would be your recommendation to replace with?

Q: Dear 5i team,
NA, CM and RY have seen recovery to an encouraging extent.
BNS, TD and BMO much less so.

I do bear in mind that not all banks were/are uniformly exposed to risks precipitated by the virus; those that needed to increase reserves against losses have done so I believe. I’ve not sourced reports indicating any bank is not prudently shored up with loss provisions.

Would it be too soon to start a monthly purchase of BNS, TD, and/or BMO - small amounts, say $1k?
If it is too soon, what are you looking to hear, read about, or see happen that would tell you buying can begin?

Thank you so much!

Q: As this stock has run up, I've gradually trimmed half of my position, thinking it's a Venture stock, which has meant that I kept it to 4% of my RRSP. Now they are listing on NASDAQ, but I'm thinking to sell more and go into WELL, realizing that while they are both in healthcare space, they are still very different stocks.
Which is more likely to position me for future growth?

Q: Hi,
I own both BEP.UN and BEPC in my RRSP. I decided to keep both about a month ago following a response to a question. But now it seems as time goes by that the capital appreciation of BEPC outweighs by far the higher dividend of BEP.UN (at least in my case). Would you still recommend holding both today in a RRSP or to sell BEP.UN and hold only BEPC?
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i team,
I’ve read all (I think) replies to questions referencing these companies, in the last year or so.
I’ve read views that seem so different to what my brokerage says (TD). For example, member Helen noted she was done with SU. I was happy to see you still think it’s best for its sector- TD lists a bunch of analysts who collectively think its a strong buy, as does a couple of reports they include in their screens.

Why are some stocks being rated strong buy but some folks want to sell them for tax losses, or won’t buy them at all?

I can’t see energy (and businesses that serve energy) not getting back on track mid term. Do you agree? Mid term in my mind is 3-5 years. I was thinking that if an investor bought say SU at $18, it moved to $36 in 3-5 years, that is doubling one’s investment. Is that not good enough, or is the underlying issue not doubling one’s money but that it’s high risk of big loss instead?
While I’m using SU as example, I thought these questions were relevant to all these co’s.

Would you think an investor was silly to buy some of all these today?
Please provide the ‘why’ for your opinion, thanks so much.

Please use credits as needed. Thank you ! :)
